2B Talent Solutions’ Post

I’ve really enjoyed hiring a VP of Sales recently for a high growth, Martech SaaS business – as part of the search we had c.400 applicants and sounded out c.150 other potentials & I ended up meeting about 20 candidates between 220 – 400k packages. I ended up shortlisting 6 people & here’s the main reasons I didn’t progress: - Most could quote their numbers but when pushed on HOW they / their teams got to those numbers, they struggled to articulate the process; - Strong examples around what world class sales enablement / demand gen looks like – as a SaaS sales leader in the current climate, this is imperative; Managing underperformance – many examples of simply letting nature take its course here. That’s simply not good enough at this level; - Hiring – how did they plan to hire their teams, did thy set out a framework for what they wanted & consider why they wanted that experience and importantly did they stick to it? In many cases they didn't planned or veered off course too easily; A few people were just incredibly full of themselves and waffled a lot or didn’t listen, others were just too senior for what the client needs but as a process its been one of the most enjoyable and eye-opening I’ve managed for a while. Have you hired in this space recently? I’d love to hear if others in my network have had the same experiences. #Sales #SaaS #Martech #Talent

Can founder-led sales tactics really help to propel the hiring flywheel? With the costs of sourcing, hiring, and retaining sales people nearing $600K/person, companies must look at the bigger picture of what attracts potential candidates. Candidates consider professional development opportunities, company culture and mission, and inspirational leadership, to name a few. Founder-led sales not only create visibility and credibility within an industry, but they demonstrate leadership style, potential for mentorship, values, and model the behavior at your company.

Scaling a SaaS company in EMEA? Here’s What Works: Hiring in EMEA isn’t one-size-fits-all. Each region has unique challenges: Germany: Relationship-driven, local language matters.

🚫 Common Mistake: Rushing to Hire Sales Talent "We need sales hires now to drive revenue." "A senior salesperson can handle it all." Many SaaS founders underestimate the high cost of hiring salespeople—often $100,000+ annually for senior roles—and the 3-month ramp-up period with no guaranteed results. For startups, hiring missteps can be costly, with high turnover impacting both growth and budget. 🔑 Tip: Partner with an external sales company. Specialized firms bring seasoned sales expertise, with senior talent assigned to each account, so they ramp up fast and drive results quickly. These companies come with the sales know-how you need and often offer flexibility, allowing you to scale efforts up or down as needed. This approach can be a smart, budget-friendly way to reach growth goals without the risk of committing to full-time hires too soon. Hiring right is about sustainable growth. Think strategically, whether you’re hiring in-house or outsourcing. #SaaS #SalesStrategy #StartupHiring #Founders
